@wai it wasn’t immediately clear to me, but why the **** is better than “4 stars”? Is it because “4 stars” is technically 9 letters when spelled out?

<button aria-braillelabel="****">
<img alt="4 stars" src="images/stars.jpg">
</button>

@mikemai2awesome
Indeed the goal of aria-braillelabel is to have as short a label as feasible for someone using a braille device -- because braille devices have limited character output. We've had some more discussion about this.

It would be helpful if you would open a GitHub issue about it via https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/new/choose

(or if you're not comfortable with GitHub, send e-mail to: public-aria@w3.org )

Then we can better track your question and the discussions publicly. 🙂
